Package: apache
Version: 1.3.22-5
Severity: wishlist

Apache adds server_root path for relative files by default. As far as
Debian Apache uses FHS (config in /etc, docs in /var, libraries in /usr),
currect behaviour is useless. I think the default path should be current
directory for .htaccess file. It allows to use i.e. generic template for
base authorisation.

Example .htaccess:

deny from all
AuthType Basic
# The .htpasswd in the same directory as .htaccess file
AuthUserFile .htpasswd
AuthName "Secret"
require valid-user
satisfy any

This .htaccess should work in any directory without modification of
AuthUserFile location.

If you are interested in, I can sent you patch for ap_set_file_slot()
function. This function is used by mod_auth* modules only.

You filled the bug http://bugs.debian.org/134702 in Debian BTS
against the package apache. I'm closing it at *unstable*, but it will
remain open for older distributions.

For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/418266. That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed and suggestions of possible replacements.

Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.

Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
